Local interest, this is the fish and chip restaurant at Cleethorpes Pier, it created some local interest recently when the new Grimsby Town manager was apparently interviewed in there before being given the job. Story here if anyone is interested. We know how to live it up around here!

Hi Rick, I saw your series of images from this outing earlier and this was one of my favourites; I like the strong leading lines of the railings and the tones from your processing. It gives it a slightly retro feel, which suits the traditional look of the pier.

I agree with your comment above about the 52; it does challenge and stretch you, and some of my favourite images in recent years have come from a 52 theme

Nice shot. I like the way you've used the railing as a leading line up to the main subject. the light and colours are nice too (although I prefer a bit darker, personally ). A great start to the 2020 52.

Yeah, I am never really concerned by the angles which are produced by a wide angle lens, that is part of the experience of using one. Obviously it is different if you are trying to create straight lines, but I wasn't in this case. I could have used my 56 or 90 or I guess the 18-55 for this, but part of my plan was to just stick the 23 on and see what I could get.

Thank you, I tried some different processing yesterday too. For me this challenge is all about trying to push things and improving overall. That is my aim for this year. I am sure there will be quite a few Marmite images, but that's fine with me
